Peterlee member’s transport Reality Check project

New member, Mara, is starting a photographic art project to follow her experiences as she opts to relinquish using her car. Mara intends using her bike and walking; using public transport or car sharing when these options aren’t practical.

From her home in Peterlee, she’ll be identifying the challenges and opportunities; focusing on the health benefits, environmental benefit and the challenges for those who aren’t able to afford a car.

You can follow her story on Facebook. She’ll be creating a body of work that responds to her experiences and will have an exhibition in 2018.
